speaker boehner said quote, i'm the most reasonable guy in washington, d.c. he was also asked about congressman paul ryan's pecking order with the house republicans. let me play what he said regarding where paul ryan the vp candidate, now stands with him. >> congressman paul ryan is he the leader of the republican party now? >> oh i wouldn't think so. paul ryan's a policy wonk. >> he's a policy wonk. basically right now i'm still the man. so how does speaker boehner, if he's the man and most reasonable guy in washington how does he get some of the conservatives, including even paul ryan a guy who is newly minted in some way with a little bit of juice, to come along? >> i think if you look at how this will actually unfold you find your answer tamron. the fact of the matter is a very small number of people will negotiate a deal or not. that includes speaker boehner. it includes majority leader reid and the white house. once they come up with a deal whatever it looks like it's going to be subject to an up or down vote. this isn't something you amend and say i'd

washington loves to wait until the 11th hour, because that's when the negotiating is done with with a lot of pressure. the 11th hour is where we might be headed. there's some reason for optimism. you heard speaker boehner last week and pay particular attention to what he said. he said that republicans are opposed to any increases in tax rates. what he didn't say was that republicans are opposed to any increases in taxes. what he's talking about is a deal where they lower the top rates, but they broaden out the base of the tax system by eliminating a lot of deductions and other things, special interest loopholes so-called to actually raise the amount of tax revenue that comes into the u.s. government, even though the rates themselves have gone down. listen to boehner talking. as long as he's talking about not raising tax rates, we're on a path to a deal. if he starts talking about not raising taxes, maybe we're off the track. >> all right. we'll look for keywords. thank you very much. i know we'll talk with you probably every day including the 11th hour when this is finally done. >> ha

they deserve all of us here in washington to be thinking every single day, how can i make things a little better for them? which isn't to say that everything we do is going to be perfect or that there aren't just going to be some big, tough challenges that we have to grapple with. but i do know that the federal government can see a difference. we are seeinging it right now on the jersey coast and in new york. people are still going through a really tough time. the response hasn't been perfect but it's been aggressive and strong and fast and robust and a lot of people have been helped because of it. and that's a pretty good metaphor for how i want the federal government to operate generally and i'll do everything i can to make sure it does. christie parson. hey. >> thank you, mr. president. and congratulations by the way. >> thanks. christie was there in -- when i was running for state senate. >> that's right, i was. >> christie and i go back a ways. >> never seen you lose. i wasn't there that one time. >> there you go. >> one quick follow-up and then i want to ask you about iran. i just w

there is one simple rule about how washington works. it really needs a deadline to force people to make tough votes. and the deadlines that are coming up are when the fiscal cliff occurs at the end of the year or more frankly the thanksgiving -- the christmas holiday season when members of congress probably want to get away and get away from washington for good or at least for a while. and so the real negotiations won't occur until we get really close to christmas or close to the very end of the year. and now we're in the stage where people are kind of making demands, having press conferences, using pr techniques. but the real negotiations won't occur until at least mid-december. >> let's move to the other big topic in washington this week. of course u.n. ambassador susan rice on the hill. she met with several republican senators who have threatened to block her possible nomination as secretary of state. let's play those highlights, as well. >> we are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn't get.
